Style me for an Asian wedding, please.

[Pleasemrstweedie]

I am white, 5'4", size 14. My best assets would be my legs and my cleavage, but I'm not expecting to get a chance to show either of those off!

I was thinking maybe slim trousers and a blingy top, perhaps in a jewel colour, but don't really know where to start or where I might buy such an outfit.

Can anyone help please?

Thank you,

Which particular Asian culture / religion are we talking? I'm assuming Hindu but it;s a bit of a leap

Show off what you want but remember its a wedding not a nightclub. Excessive cleavage is never a good look at a formal do. A dress? Just cus its an asian wedding does not mean you have to dress asian. An a-line full Skirt/top?

Whichever religion I would suggest modest, no legs or cleavage. Bright colours are always good and lots of sparkly jewellery, especially bangles. I would also wear sparkly shoes and /or handbag. A nice pashmina would be good if you need to cover up at any point. The ladies are always dressed in bright colours and wear lots of accessories.

Asia as in? India? Pakistan? China? Malaysia? Japan?

You may need to be more specific because those cultures are all very different.

Have a look at rupali website. Many nice shalwar suits on there which would be appropriate if it's an Indian or Pakistani wedding

If it's a Hindu, Sikh, or Muslim wedding you should wear a pastel coloured maxi dress from Monsoon - the more intricate the better. Women who turn up in trousers and a top get judged as having made no effort.

Second the pashmina. If it's a Muslim ceremony they may prefer you to have covered shoulders etc.

Regardless of the culture black is a no no

Sorry, it's Sikh wedding.

Thank you @Groupie123, that's very helpful. It hadn't occurred to me.

Off to do some more research.

"Regardless of the culture black is a no no"

Black is a perfectly acceptable colour for Chinese weddings. But as a guest don't wear red, which is the traditional colour for the bride.

As well as rupali, you could try www.kamanielondon.com/yellow--pink-suit-340-p.asp there seems to be quite a good selection here but I've never ordered from here to see the quality.

I'm indian. Black is fine, plenty wore black to
My wedding.
